[QUOTE="hulk2012, post: 197085, member: 14329"] Beautiful pic and I like your approach. Somehow I unconsciously been leading towards primes ever since I got nex7. I bought like 7 Minolta Rokkors with already having one zeiss zoom. I tell you what though - primes somehow were more fun ever since. Allowed me to think more about composition, confused less cos of lack of choice (no zoom) and stepping closer or moving further wasn't a bad thing. True I missed many shoots not being able to zoom close enough to the subject but...! The whole idea going out with prime/s was to shoot knowing what they capable of (focal range) therefore my choice of the subject was narrowed down. As I said previously this translated to think less about "trying" to capture everything but instead capture what I think was right using fixed focal length I've got the the max potential same time thinking about composition "much deeper".Was thinking of keeping my d600 and getting few expedience zooms. But after reading all your helpful inputs I think switching to d800 with its 36mpx and tremendous ability to crop to get closer and actually buying primes instead will be the best choice. Especially with d600 plastic lens mount it's risky to use heavy zooms. Also so called inconvenience caused by carrying primes won't be an issue either with d800 (and it's metal lens mount) [/QUOTE]
